GENERAL TERMS
AND CONDITIONS
8.0 ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES (Cont'd)
8.2 Billing and Payment (cont'd)
(e) Failure to Pay
Should Shipper fail to pay all of the amount of any bill as
herein provided when that amount is due, interest on the
unpaid portion of the bill shall accrue at the then effective
prime interest rate (Chase Manhattan Bank), from the due date
until and including the date of payment. Upon thirty (30)
Days notice from Chandeleur, service under the Agreement will
automatically be suspended for such failure to pay. However,
if Shipper, in good faith, disputes the amount of any bill or
part thereof and: 1) promptly pays to Chandeleur the
undisputed amount, 2) provides Chandeleur documentation
identifying basis for the dispute and 3) furnishes to
Chandeleur a good and sufficient surety bond in an amount,
and with surety satisfactory to Chandeleur, or provides other
assurance acceptable to Chandeleur guaranteeing payment to
Chandeleur of the amount ultimately found due after a final
determination that may be reached either by agreement or by
judgment of the courts, as may be the case, then Chandeleur
shall not be entitled to automatically suspend service under
the Agreement unless and until Shipper defaults on the
conditions of the bond or other assurance.
Also, if the party that fails to pay any portion of any bill
is a temporary replacement Shipper, then Chandeleur will bill
the releasing Shipper who remains liable for payments in the
subsequent monthly bill for that portion of the concurrent
conditional credit that the releasing Shipper previously
received and that the replacement Shipper failed to pay.
Additionally, a releasing Shipper may terminate the release
of capacity to a replacement Shipper if such Shipper fails to
pay all of the amount of any bill for gas delivered under
the executed Temporary Term Transportation Service Agreement,
when such amount is due pursuant to this section of
Chandeleur's tariff.
If Shipper's failure to pay extends beyond the thirty (30)
Day notice period, in addition to automatically suspending
service under the Agreement, Chandeleur shall have the right
to terminate Shipper's Transportation Service Agreement, if
failure to pay continues for seventy (70) days, in addition
to any other remedy Chandeleur may have hereunder.
